your camber appears to be at like...0 in those pics

since you didnt get coilovers you might want to get camber plates to help fit the wheels

I'm going to test fit some spacers. Think they are 5mm. Busy working on 3 240's. Swapping my turbo and wastegate this weekend in between a wedding and m other job. then next week I'm pulling 3 motor sets, starting a KA-T and then when I finish is SR install time... Trying to squeeze in time to do the front and install my j30 diff

why would you put spacers on? they already stick out as it is

you need negative camber to make them flush

Because I'm from FL, just to see how it looks....Opened the hood the other day on a 240 and the engine mount was a piece of a 2x4....

meh.. it doesn't look that great.

you NEED to go lower... and the pull job looks like it was rushed. you probably should have got some fender flares instead.

To each his own. Your comment is a little rude ^^

I personally like a little gap, not slammed like crazy. See slight gap and some wheels stickin out gives it a muscle look. Not everybody is going for the JDM DRIFTER look. Hell I even want to drift my car but I still want mine to look like a japanese version of a muscle car.

EDIT: also in those pictures it looks like his front tires might even have possitive camber.. You know like most cars look after being lowered off of jacks but the car hasn't been moved yet?

Like I said before, this ain't a show car, as long as I'm happy that's all that matters. Besides the bugs on my front bumper and this and that makes my car a lsleeper. M3 tried to showoff to his girlfriend, he had decals on his fenders and some mods... he tried passing me....Gave him a wake-up call, light in front of us turned red.... he didn't do a thing.

Eww. I'm sorry but pulling the fender up like that is pointless and looks bad.
